T-Works MBX8 Eco Ti & gold-plated screw sets

Coming from T-Works and made for the Mugen MBX8 Eco 1/8th electric buggy are two new screw sets. First up is a 156-piece set of 64-grade titanium fasteners that includes UFO button head screws. The bolts are highly corrosion resistant, they scrub a good amount of weight and also add a bit of visual impact. The second new kit is a 167-piece set of gold-colour steel screws. Keeping the weight the same as the standard kit screws the set mainly adds a bit of bling.

The “web” style tyre was built to compete on smooth high-grip indoor and outdoor surfaces which require a finely detailed connected bar pattern. The tread will be available as 1/8th and 1/10th tyre during the later stages of the 2018 season.
